A 12-year-old child died after a single-vehicle crash early Sunday on the Stevenson Expressway, according to Illinois State Police.

The child was ejected from the vehicle and was taken to an area hospital, where they were pronounced dead, state police said.

It was unclear what caused the vehicle to lose control, authorities said.

All northbound lanes were closed for several hours for investigation, state police said.

No further information was immediately available.
